Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said at the open debate of the UN Security Council on "the protection of civilians in urban war" on the 25th that China strongly appeals to all countries and parties to the conflict to earnestly abide by the Olympic truce resolution of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, take the Beijing Winter Olympic Games as an opportunity to eliminate differences through dialogue and replace confrontation with cooperation. Zhang Jun said that cities are the gathering place of population, economy, science and technology and civil facilities, and the crystallization of human civilization. Wars and conflicts in cities often cause greater damage and more serious humanitarian consequences. The international community should attach great importance to it, pursue responsibility and compensation for relevant acts, and safeguard international fairness and justice. At the same time, we should persevere in promoting the political settlement of disputes, ensure that all parties to the conflict effectively abide by international law and better protect the rights and interests of civilians. Zhang Jun said that the realization of a ceasefire is the first step towards a political settlement. Last December, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution on the Olympic Truce of the Beijing Winter Olympics, with the participation of 173 countries, which once again reflects the political consensus of the international community that all parties to the conflict should achieve a ceasefire. China strongly calls on all countries and parties to the conflict to earnestly abide by this truce tradition and the resolution of the general assembly, take the Beijing Winter Olympic Games as an opportunity to eliminate differences with dialogue and replace confrontation with cooperation, so as to demonstrate the firm determination of the international community to achieve peace, unity, solidarity and work together for the future. Zhang Jun said that eliminating the root causes of conflict is the fundamental strategy to achieve lasting peace. War is a systematic risk for civilians. To eliminate this risk, we must focus on the root causes, adopt comprehensive measures and manage it systematically. The international community should adhere to promoting peace through development and alleviate the absolute poverty and other problems leading to conflict through sustainable development. China has put forward the global development initiative and led the establishment of the group of friends. The purpose is to gather a strong joint force for the implementation of the UN 2030 agenda and promote the solution of the root causes of conflict. In addition, the international community should respect the sovereignty of the countries concerned, listen to their views, and help them strengthen their capacity to protect civilians and provide basic services based on their national conditions.
